Requiem to a Relationship

Created by Decius at | [+ favourites]
I said goodbye to her. Really, I did. Did you know that about me? That I am the kind of man to tell my best friend of six years, a friend I relied on, confided in, made an integral part of my family that I don't want to be friends with her anymore?

I remember doing it. I remember my room. I remember the time before and after.

Six years is a chunk of our lives. I spent days with her, watching movies, playing sports, just about everything. We even began in a relationship and were intimate for some time. I told her everything there was to know about me.

And one day, it just ended. But why?

Why do these relationships end with me? I send the person an email, or call them, or tell them in person, that we shouldn't see each other anymore, that we shouldn't be friends anymore, that there's no purpose.

It seems like a unique characteristic of mine, to say goodbye to such relationships. The receivers are so baffled by my action. But, it baffles me that they are baffled.

Every person I have done this with has had room, time, and words of wisdom shared by me to them, telling them what I need or don't need. And the closer the relationship the more intense the need. But their failure to provide that change to help make my life easier and less painful, less confusing, should lead to an obvious expectation that this relationship will inevitably end.

But it seems they expect me to carry on as I have, for ever and ever, eating what they give me regardless of how it tastes. And when I tell them goodbye, they feign confusion. They all do. And if a critique is re-represented, it is always received in the same manner.

It is all answered by this perception they have of me that I am completely oblivious to. I believe I am an honest person who is willing to compromise for another. They must perceive me as a permanent source of nurturing and love that will never end. But I believe we are both wrong. I do empathize when I should not, and I treat myself poorly when I should not. However, I also do not permanently stick around eating tasteless food simply because I am used to it.

No, I say goodbye. I end it, abruptly, after an adequate set of premises have transpired, telling me that the future of this relationship is unhealthy for me. What is there to do when that is realized?

End it.

This post says that you are a cruel bastard. relationships are also about communication. You were with this fully integrated person for 6 years and then ended it abruptly because the food was tasteless? Sounds to me like you are nothing but an immature and self-absorbed partner. Surely there was some level of thought process that began before you broke it off. A time when you were evaluating whether this was a course of action you should take? This is the part in the relationship where you would actually communicate to the partner your thoughts and fully analyze the health of the relationship for you both. You simply didn't feel her worthy of that and you didn't want to continue. Lame, man. If you're gonna try to be all artsy and poetic about tasteless food and all, try pulling your head out of your ass first.

"Every person I have done this with has had room, time, and words of wisdom shared by me to them, telling them what I need or don't need."

Even if this wasn't included in the above article, it is better to determine the nature of a person before pushing your own personal anger at them, perceiving them as an avatar for someone else who has hurt you in your life.

Further, and although I think this may be hard to explain...

This article is written in order to challenge the lies in my head telling me that I am a cruel bastard. This is why I present my actions as if I am a cruel bastard, at least for the first half of the article. These lies are implanted in me by repeated responses by people who respond just like you have.

It is therefore educational for me to witness that a person who responds like you, when hearing the same words other people like you have put in my head, get riled up and take the opportunity to try to press that anger into another even more.

You fail to witness the truth of the article... that between the lines there is vulnerability and pain... you misunderstand the tasteless food metaphor, you completely ignore the part where I explain how I have communicated clearly...

The reason I wrote something like this, specifically, was to elicit within myself and perhaps outsiders, the maximum brunt of the dishonesty that people push unto others in order to vent their own sense of powerlessness through delusion.

And so, what is the delusional reality that you have created for yourself? That I did not communicate with my friend, that tasteless food means boredom, that I ended it because I had better opportunities that were more stimulating... that she was hurt and I was indifferent.

Why do people who react like you do what they do?

Because whomever has hurt you, is still hurting you because you have not gone through the pain of accepting that you are, and were, vulnerable to them. And in order to maintain justifying not doing this, you try to demonize them more than is real.

By demonizing those who have hurt you, you repress your vulnerability towards them and the pain that ensues. It is always there, but you try to repress it. And so, here I am, someone you perceive on their end, the end of your aggressor, and you demonize me in order to justify demonizing them.

You always know someone is doing this, projecting something unto you in order to justify some delusion to themselves, when they "miss" parts of your communications, misinterpret many things you say and do, and react confidently aggressive despite the large number of mistakes in their observations.
